You can put this solution on YOUR website! draw a card with a value of 2 or less from a standard deck of cards, i will pay you $16. if not, you pay me $5. (Aces are considered the highest card in the deck. what is the expected value of proposition?
----------------------
Random "winning" values.....16...... -5
Probabilities.............. 1/13.... 12/13
-----------------------------
Expected "winnings"::: [16 - 12*5]/13 = (16-60)/13 = -44/13 = -$3.38
